My mom used this type pattern years ago to make afghans for all of us. Owing to her dementia, she can’t recall how to do it! I’m so grateful to find this tutorial today! I’ll be able to make “her” blankets for others! Thank you!!
I love the stained glass effect that the rainbow and black have. With it sewn together it gives you a cathedral window look to your blanket. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
My mom had started making the strips and stopped after 6. There was enough yarn to make a 7th strip. I took the strips and made each one the center of an afghan. I made 7 in different ones for my 7 grandchildren. I gave them to them at Easter this year. I told them how they came about and they liked the story and their afghans.💝 My mom's 8th anniversary of her passing was just November 15th. I can't believe it's been 8yrs. Thank you for this one Crystal. It looks beautiful with the colors you used.💖🤗
I've seein this many times but i never felt like doing it. Not every teacher is the same, You my Crochet Professor Crystal❤ teaches us that we can crochet anything. YOU ARE AMAZING.....LOVE YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love seeing someone doing the classic style of mile-a-minute. I've seen too many people try to make it fancier. This was the true blanket style I learned that wasn't just me going back and forth with double crochets. I love doing them and I always make all my friend's baby blankets (when they don't want a quilt instead) with this pattern. My cousins' kids all still have theirs and they're adults and teens.
The first real project my granny gave me after teaching me as a kid was this pattern. It was a baby blanket for my cousin. The shells were a pink, beige and white variegated with a dusty pink border.
Hi Crystal I cannot wait to see how you do the mile a minute crochet stitch? This mile a minute crochet stitch is so beautiful I cannot wait to try it!
This is beautiful I always wanted to make one of these blankets too I seen Kim from The crafty no mad make one and they are beautiful thanks for sharing beautiful I love that yarn
You could use the holiday mixed colors yarn in the center with like one of the darker colors for the border. So pretty...so easy. Now to find someone to finish the 5 projects I have ongoing!
I’m hoping Picasso and I will become friends with this pattern 🙏. Having more yarn to hold should be easier than working the first chain mess. Thanks again Crystal! 😘
Girl, you keep making new tutorials that I wanna do, makes me wanna set what I'm working on aside and start another one. I already have 4 projects going. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my gosh. I remember this pattern now. I haven't seen it since I was a little girl. My grandmother did this when I was about 6 years old. I love it. Ty Crystle.
I have seen this technique on one of the other You Tube crochet tutorial channels in the past year at or two but your tutorial is so clear and makes me want try it. Maybe try a scarf with it. Thank you.
Ooohhh! I emailed you awhile back ago regarding this stitch! My Grandma, who passed years ago, taught me to crochet. She made each grandchild (7) one of these in their fave colors for Christmas one year. Mine is long gone, after all our moves and I'm so sad. I wanted to recreate it. Thank you, Crystal! 😊👍🧶
Hi Crystal happy Sunday l love this pattern l had started a blanket in the black and Mexicans yarns and don’t like it so lm going to frog it and make it in the pattern thank you for sharing it’s beautiful ❤❤❤
I've been crocheting for 45+ years and could never get the hang of Mile A Minute. But then I was learning from books. You explained this very well. Thank you Crystal.❣
I've just been diagnosed with cancer and the outlook is not good for me, I decided I wanted to make my husband a throw for his bed he has a super king size so I wanted something quick and easy that doesn't take long and low and behold you have don't this tutorial, it's just perfect, thank you xxx
Oh wow this was my 1st successful stitch and I love love love this stitch. Back in my day it was called “A Mile A Minute”. If I can do it you can too!! So much fun.
Where have you been all my life? lol. I just subscribed a few days ago, and I love your patterns and how you really show how to do it. I only knew the basics (and I still have issues with a straight edge on turning the work). I got curious about this ice yarn, and I just went to their site! Oh my gosh, I'm in Heaven! The prices are awesome, even with shipping, it's cheaper than local and other online shops, and they're all beautiful! Thank you so much for introducing me to this awesome yarn! Right now, I'm doing the rocky road stitch for my son's afghan. I also want to try another pattern I saw on YT, but it's hard to follow her instructions. It's the Trend 3D Crochet Blanket Knitting Pattern. Is there any way you could do a tutorial on this pattern? You make it so much easier to understand. It's a criss-cross pattern with 2 different colored yarns.
My Great Grandma and Grandma always used to do these. I did a baby blanket for one of my Mom's coworkers once out of the mile-a-minute pattern a d it was for a little girl.and it came out beautifully. I am the only one that carried on crocheting and embroidery and stuff in the family.
I have not done this in ages, it is so fun and quick, I have some sparkly yarn, I can see my 4 grandaughters getting one in the Christmas stocking, Thanks for the idea, you are a star .Kind regards from wet cold London
I'm so excited. I have the ice yarn and started this right away while I wait for the black to get here! Someone is getting it for Christmas. :))) Thank you! I just needed one more gift to make and this is IT!
I'm going to make just one long row and use it as a Scarfette. It's going to be perfect for summer made with a thin 3 weight. Oh yeah. Thank you for the tutorial.
I love mile a minute blankets. I used to do these as a teenager. It's too bad there are no crochet books currently for mile a minute. They seemed to go out of style and didnt really make a come back. They really are a quick way to make a blanket. Thank you. ❤️
I've made a few of these and have decided to make another one for my brother who lives in Oklahoma for Christmas. I love the way you connect the strips as you go and will try that tectonic. Thanks for sharing, I needed a refresher on this pattern.
Same 30 years ago. I was sorta a beginner. And bad at interpretating patterns. My panels did not match lengths. Oh lordy! I produce so much more now. And all with You Tube teachers!
Beautiful I have done this mile a minuets for an afghan I have on my sofa in my shore house the trim is not the same but they are great to do also the little Diamond you did I’d better then the just straight up that I did
I totally forgot about this stitch lol!! Looking at it now, I'm thinking this would make for some cute headbands! 😊 Also, as someone born and raised in New Mexico, I'd just like to point out that Sea Glass counts as a shade of turquoise, & turquoise matches everything. 😉😜
I made this mile a minute afghan for my mom about 25 years ago and I still have it. And it wasn’t on TH-cam! Lol. It works up very quickly and it’s fun to make. Great for beginners too. Give it a try.
Crystal I wish to tell that I learned C to C from your tutorial . I could not get it with others. I am grateful for your excellent teaching. Thank you so much.😊 I am making a scrappy blanket with bulky yarns. Works up fast.
This is such a fun one to do!! Goes so fast!! You will be pleasantly surprised and proud of what you did when you are finished!! I get a lot of compliments on them!! Don’t give up on it. Just be patient and don’t hurry.
Thank you Crystal for the great tutorial on this beautiful afghan! I have wanted to make it for several years but have been intimidated by it for some reason. I am not sure why after seeing you make it. It doesn’t look hard. I guess I was just afraid of the unknown. LOL Many thanks again. I am so excited to plan my colors and buy my yarn. Blessings to you. Wishes to you for happy holidays. 🥰
Love this stitch. So simple. My brother likes to crochet too but he's a lefty so it will take a little time to show him how. We can do this when we're all showed in this winter curled up to the wood stove.😸❤️😸
My mom used this type pattern years ago to make afghans for all of us. Owing to her dementia, she can’t recall how to do it! I’m so grateful to find this tutorial today! I’ll be able to make “her” blankets for others! Thank you!!
I'm sorry for that. My dad has Alzheimer's so I understand you.
Beautiful way to honor your mother. 🐞
Aww, such a nice tribute
Oh I'm sorry to hear about your mom.i know how you feel my mom had Alzheimer's.what a lovely tribute to her..🌸🌸
@@lalagamma4452 I came here to say this. Tyvm 👌🏻
I love the stained glass effect that the rainbow and black have. With it sewn together it gives you a cathedral window look to your blanket. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
Me too!
I saw the pattern for mystical lanterns in that yarn & it had a black border, it looked stunning
I like that design also. I'm going to play around with it and see if I can make them to look like peacock feathers.
@@memmie1104 that sounds lovely

It looks like a stained glass window. Beautiful. I will try it as soon as company leaves.
I love the color combinations.
Love Mile a Minute afghans. This is a great way to use variegated yarn
I love seeing someone doing the classic style of mile-a-minute. I've seen too many people try to make it fancier.

Always liked mile a minute, never made a blanket, thanks Crystal ❤️

So pretty. Those colors remind me of stained glass.
I am loving the colorful yarn with the black background!! thank you
Your Mile A Minute is very beautiful. I'm going to make one when I'm finish my other project I have started. You do such very very beautiful projects.
I’m hoping Picasso and I will become friends with this pattern 🙏. Having more yarn to hold should be easier than working the first chain mess. Thanks again Crystal! 😘
I have a mile-a-minute blanket my Dutch mother-in-law made us over 40 years ago. i still love it!
I have 2 of these going right now for granddaughters.
You have other, mile a minute tutorials in your playlist. But this one is much clearer. Thanks 👍👍
Beautiful love the colors
I’ve only been crocheting for about a year but your tutorials are by far my favorite!! You are an amazing teacher!!
OMG! I've been trying to find my mile-a-minute book to make this. Thank you, Crystal. I'm sure my book will turn up now that I don't need it. 🤣
Girl, you keep making new tutorials that I wanna do, makes me wanna set what I'm working on aside and start another one. I already have 4 projects going. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the stain glass look. Definitely on my project list.
Wow. That's beautiful. I love that ice yarn.
Thanks Missy ❤️
I learned this years ago and forgot how to do it. Thank you
I've made a few of these and have decided to make another one for my brother who lives in Oklahoma for Christmas. I love the way you connect the strips as you go and will try that tectonic. Thanks for sharing, I needed a refresher on this pattern.
Thank you Crystal, this would also make a beautiful wrap with the tassels at the end like you suggested. 🥰
I made a blanket using this stitch about 30 years ago with Earth tones Dazzleaire yarns and black. It was so beautiful.
Same 30 years ago. I was sorta a beginner. And bad at interpretating patterns. My panels did not match lengths. Oh lordy!
I produce so much more now. And all with You Tube teachers!

Great tutorial! Thank you Crystal! This stitch would definitely make a beautiful throw. God bless you!
I like those colors together. I know you say they don't match but I like them.
Thanks Crystal! Always wondered how these were done
Thank you so much for the directions on how to start this Mile A Minute Afghan Pattern. I am happy I found it as it makes up so well.
💖😍Beautiful pattern! Thank you Crystal!
This color combination is fantastic for newbies like me who find the visual structure of stitches confusing.
Reminds me of a picket fence!! Love it!!
Crystal I wish to tell that I learned C to C from your tutorial . I could not get it with others. I am grateful for your excellent teaching. Thank you so much.😊 I am making a scrappy blanket with bulky yarns. Works up fast.

I’ve been watching your older videos. This stitch is beautiful. Another to add to the list.

I just started making some baby toddlers blankets today for charity and I'm hoping my blankets come out at beautiful as yours . 💖 Vickie G
Made a baby blanket once with this pattern trimmed in white. It was beautiful. Thank you for reminding me about this stitch.
Isn't this BEAUTIFUL 😍!
I made this for my daughter. So easy and fun to do. I used Ice Yarn Rainbow Picasso as well. More beautiful in person.
This was one of the first stitches I learned I made a baby blanket❤
Oh Crystal I can’t wait to make a blanket with this stitch. I love the way the black make the color pop!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been wanting to make one for some time.
